Married: 3 weeks!

Well if this the way that marriage is supposed to be then I am in!! Since the moment we said our I Do's we have spent maybe a total of 36 hours together!! Ummmmm yeah! Hopefully the Canadian Immigration authorities realize that this sucks the big one and decides that maybe a week in Mexico with my husband during reading week would be most ideal, and permission to move to Canada and to start contributing to the best economy we have seen in years here. But then again when you're literally sitting on a shitload of fossil fuels there's nothing else to do than get it out of the ground as fast as mechanically possible!

So yeah I am finally getting back into a flow of things. School is going rather well, I ended up dropping a class (which may mean that I graduate two months later than expected), bombing one mid-term, and totally scoring on another. Work is another story, we are so behind that they have starting working on Saturdays, my excuse: it's literally my only day off, and they are also working some nights, but we are so far behind that we are going to have to start working on Saturdays to get by and we are going to have to work evenings just to keep up. At least I am getting my hours that I need to bring home the dough to pay for the $3600 that I charged on my visa card the week that I was in Sweden, and yes I did need a $200 cashmere scarf!!

In other news it just got better to live in Alberta, not only are we the only debt free province in Canada ( I know that I used only wayyyy to much in that one but oh well, it's late and I am not making any sense, I do realize this.) But we are starting to get bits and pieces of infrastructure put into the system. We are getting a nice $400 tax-free cheque just for living here, they are thinking of lowering taxes which in one sense is really really nice but having lived in one of the best welfare states in the world, taxes aren't necessarily evil you know!! I am a socialist and I love it. Call me commie if you want!! Here they do, but then again the dumbass redneck to commie ratio here is like 1 000 000 to 1! Yeah love working with that logic. But here's something to put in your water pipe to smoke, Ralph Klein is talking about making the first two years of university free, ummm yeah usually it takes four years for a bachelors degree, I love summer school, but I am pretty damn sure there are quite a few people around here who don't.

Enough ranting and raving. I think that I better get back to doing some hard core cramming for an Adult Development and Aging course ( yeah, we're gonna get old and die and it's a nasty nasty process!) Married life does rock, it would rock so much harder if my husband was here ;) :) ;) :)
